Quid Pro Cuomo

Cuomo did his donors' bidding. The rich got tax cuts: bank tax eliminated, corporate tax rate reduced, corporate income tax on manufacturers cut to zero, estate tax reduced, tax-free zones for businesses in Start-UP NY zones around universities, 100% rebate of the stock transfer tax. The people got underfunding of public services, from public schools to public transportation to environmental protection to revenue sharing with municipalities.

27 bankers, real estate executives, business executives, philanthropists and advocacy groups who promote charter schools gave Cuomo Cuomo at least $800,000 by last January, half of it from a coterie of hedge funders and other wealthy supporters of Eva Moskowitz’s Success Academy charter school network. Is it any suprise that Cuomo rallied with Moskowitz and her bussed in students from charter schools and put into this years state budget more money for charters, a mandate that New York City pay charter school rents, and took control of co-locations from the city to the state?

Let's show that Candidate 99% got more contributors in the first three months of his campaign than Governor 1% got in the first three years of his from 924 contributors of $10,000-and-up who gave him 81% of his campaign fund.

The statistics tell a powerful tale, one unuttered in the media, or in either wing of the Business Party. It’s time for the people to wake up and support Hawkins and the Green Party slate of candidates.
